Mowing Mower Deck Stands

[psvines]

The mower stands are fantastic, very high quality product, and delivery was quick.
I considered trying to make some myself but after reading reviews and opinions on the mower axle I decided to make a purchase. Well worth every dollar spent.
Eventually I'll post a picture and send one to Larry, as I promised him I would.

I really thought it would be harder to stand the deck upright, but it was a piece of cake. There is a safety chain included but you'd have to really do something spectacular to make it fall (or have curious youngsters running about). The hardest part of the whole job was swapping out the rear scalp rollers.

Today I put my mower on the stands for the second storage season. They're such a simple and excellent solution to mower maintenance and storage.

they look like they are a great idea - however all the pics i have seen are on a concrete garage floor. my tractor and stuff is stored in a garage with a crusher run stone floor. I wonder if those tiny wheels can be rolled on the stone floor ? has any one tried it ?

There are models with larger 5" wheels for gravel drives. I have no experience with them, but maybe somebody else here does.

I just removed my 60" MMM deck for the season. I had read about Larry's mower axles on these forums, and ordered a set to make cleaning the accumulated grass easier. They are very well made, the deck is very stable, and cleaning and storage will be a snap. If you are wondering how to deal with that 300lb+ deck, this just may be your answer.

I picked up a set this fall. I'd highly recommend them. And Larry was easy to do business with as well (needed a change of delivery address. just sent him a note. he responded with an acknowledgement of the updated delivery address and a tracking number for the dhl shipment.)

to all,
i also have a set of the mower deck stand axles, and would agree that it is money well spent. they are a great storage solution.
though, i do have a question. how do you go back and forth between the stand axles v.s. caster wheels on the rear of the mower deck? my deck is upright now. i could lift it by strap or chain by the fel, change out the axle stands for the caster wheels and then roll. anybody have a better/easier way to do it? often times, i miss the obivious (saint joseph's university).
thanks, shrekbelly

I wonder the same thing. Since i made wooden wheels and used a 1 inch bolt for axel i find myself using bucket to lift the deck to upright position.I then swap the axels to stands and moving it to where I need it in the garage. I can't exactly roll it since its loose gravel stuff. That deck sure is heavy.

I will just lower it back down then block up the back of the deck with 2x4's high enough to remove the axles and replace the scalp rollers. At least that's the theory since I haven't actually tried it yet.
